He has most definitely earned the title as one of the worst drivers in Australia drivers after he was banned from the road until 2092.

Sydney man Nathaniel Barker failed to show up to court fight his 29th driving charge after he was charged with driving with a disqualified licence.

Instead, the 77-year-old was spotted with his feet up watching television at his South Coogee home in Sydney's east with his white Nissan ute parked outside, according to the Daily Telegraph.

He denies that he's been on the road, brandishing armloads of bus tickets as evidence that he has been taking public transport.

'They're all me bus tickets. So I've been going by bus every morning. How can I drive too?' Mr Barker said to reporters gathered outside his home.

When he failed to front Downing Centre Local Court a warrant was issued for his arrest. The warrant was annulled when a solicitor appeared on his behalf to plead not guilty to the charges.

His latest encounter with the courts comes a year after he appealed against a jail sentence for driving without a licence and was instead given a four-month suspended sentence.

Nathaniel Barker, 76, has been charged 25 times with driving while disqualified and on Tuesday appealed against a year-long prison stint after he was caught behind the wheel without a licence last March

Barker was caught driving last year while taking his former partner's car from her home at Waterloo to refuel it at an Alexandria service station, the court heard.

He said he had received a phone call from his daughter saying his wife had no money or petrol in her car.

The court also heard he had complied with previous orders and had not offended for about six years before he was nabbed in 2012.

The crown pushed for Barker to serve the year in jail.

'He hasn't displayed any remorse,' prosecutor James Dorney said.

Nathaniel Barker had been sentenced to 12 months in jail, which has now been downgraded to a four month suspended sentence

Judge Syme agreed, telling the court 'nothing seems to have sunk in'.

'Of concern to me... is that Mr Barker to this day still has very limited insight into the consequences of his driving,' she said.

But she said a year in jail was a significant sentence for a traffic offence and even more so for a man of Barker's years.

After quashing the original sentence, Judge Syme warned Barker about the conditions attached to his four-month suspended sentence and four-month bond.

'If you drive again during the course of this bond... there will be nothing that will save you from going to jail for the full term of this sentence.'

Barker will walk from the court on Tuesday afternoon after completing the necessary paperwork.

If Barker is caught driving in the next four months he will be sent to jail for a full 12 month sentence
